Andy Kershaw is an ignorant little s***

[mamalamadingdong]

Just heard him on Woaman's Hour outlining his reasons for hating the programme.

"I mean, nobody ever has NORMAL kids do they? They always have ones withe 'special needs' (heavy irony in his voice) It's always like, 'oh your kid's not autistic?' (adopts aggressive tone supposed to be that of an autistic child's parent) 'why not?'"

What a total tosser that man is. I've emailed to complain. You might like to join me.

[ilovecaboose]

[mamalamadingdong]

Never liked Andy Kershaw anyway - tosspot that he is.

[southeastastra]

oh i heard this during the week and just thought what a plonker, he couldnt back up any of his comments about it being a men lambassting programme.
hes was pathetic.
jenni murray i think was quite surprised, and he contradicted himself saying she was an excellant broadcaster but insulted her show and the millions who listen to it i felt.

and switch it off andi if u dont want to listen to it

[mamalamadingdong]

Yes, stupid item IMO. Do they invite people on the book programme to say, 'oh, I've never read a book in my life. They are full of shit' do they? Or invite people onto football programmes to say they hate football and it is a stupid waste of time? Only this was even worse because he thought it was oh so funny to take a pop at kids with special needs at the same time.

is it on listen again- will try and find later....

[Saker]

Socci - did you see they printed a complaint in the Radio Times and gave a half hearted apology. I mentioned it on the original thread. here .

[Saker]

I didn't hear this but will look on listen again later if I have time. It sounds really unnecessary and I'm surprised Jenni Murray let it pass.

[mamalamadingdong]

I've had a look at the message boards and they are full of people posting ignorant shit like, "I agree with Andy Kershaw especially about naughty children being 'special'" It actually makes me want to cry. It is people like him who create this malevolent climate. Bastard.
